MY, WHAT A LONG DAY.

I LEFT BURLEY IDAHO AT 730 AM AND ARRIVED TROPIC UTAH AT 530 PM. , 455 MILES THAT SEEMED MUCH LONGER. I HATE RIDING THE INTERSTATES, BUT DID SO TODAY. I RODE DOWN I15 TO NEPHI, THEN TURNED SOUTHWEST ON UTAH 28 TO  RICHFIELD THEN HWY 24 TO TEASDALE WHERE I TURNED WEST ON HWY 12 TO ESCALANTE. UTAH IS THE MOST DIVERSE OF OUR STATES AND PERHAPS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL. THE PARKS ALONG THE WAY ARE SOME OF OUR MOST  BEAUTIFUL. BRYCE CANYON IS INCREDIBLE. I BELIEVE THAT UTAH HWYS 12, 24 AND 95 ARE CLOSE TO THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DRIVES IN THE WORLD.

I SHALL PAUSE AT BRYCE CANYON THEN MAKE PHOENIX TOMORROW NIGHT.
